Trivia
Could we get there?
- Verdict. Hopelessly far for any craft humanity can build today.
Getting there
- Aboard Voyager 1. ≈ 4.2 million years at Voyager 1's speed (17 km/s).
- Fastest probe ever. ≈ 374.4 thousand years even at the Parker Solar Probe's 192 km/s.
- At 10% light speed. ≈ 2398 years in a starship at a tenth of light speed.
- Distance. 240 light-years from Earth.
Look-back time
- Look-back time. The light you'd see left around the year 1786.
Saying hello
- Say hello. A radio message and its reply would take 480 years round-trip.
Standing on it
- A year here. A full year lasts just 2.6 Earth days.
By the numbers
- Size. About 1.8× the width of Earth.
- Volume. About 6 Earths could fit inside it.
- Mass. About 3.9× the mass of Earth.
- Your weight. You'd weigh about 1.2× your Earth weight standing here.
How we found it
- Discovery. Found by Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) using the transit method.

Why TIC 88692598 b is a common exoplanet
TIC 88692598 b scores 17 points on Spacedle's rarity scale, which places it in the common tier. Another 7 points would lift it into a rarer tier.
That score comes from 3 science badges — Confirmed exoplanet, Super-Earth and Found by TESS — each earned for a real, measurable property of the object. Rarity on Spacedle is never random: the more remarkable an object's astrophysics, the more badges it collects, the higher it scores, and the rarer it ranks.
